[WA Tiger]

At least one things for sure, we are as good if not better than the raiders on a bad day. What are they top 8?

with the draw the raiders and sharks have its virtually impossible for them not to make the 8

Exact same ending as Bulldogs v Rabbitohs Good Friday 2015 (Sutton also refereeing)

 

[Tigerm]

I’m away for a few months, so probably won’t see much of the rest of the season, but Da Silva get a run?

Nah, Api played but looked like he warmed up with the team so it was probably a learning experience for him.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Not our best showing, but almost nicked it. Highlight for the game is definitely Pole’s last stint on the field. His kick off returns were something else.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

His kick off returns were something else.

Might add, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Nofa run so hard into the defence b4, was running straight and hard a lot more than his sideways run.

Tommy T did the same and must say, I could see him ending up like John Sutton, a reluctant 2nd rower.

f**king love Pole with his kick returns. Those shot out were a big reasons why we got those back to back to back tries.

3 in a row he easily got over the 20. All with at least 5 post contact metres. One won a penalty. You love to see it.

 

[Wizardman]

I'll say this about this years team. They actually look like an NRL standard team in def. We have improved out of sight without the ball. Some congrats to Sheens is due. We need some halves to ultimately get us into the 8.....hopefully, we get some luck in that area for next season.

 

[Benchtiger]

Wakeham does some good things but how slow is this poor bugger ,he is like a turtle on a treadmill at times.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Since when does it matter 3/4 of the obstruction penalties given these days the defender is not in a position to tackle a player, the points being they’re denied the opportunity

100% Pezz.

Here's what Annesley had to say today,

But remember, everything after that point doesn't happen because the Tigers start with a penalty, so it's a case of we'll never ever know.

 

[Ron's_Mate]

I thought the penalty that won them the game was bullshit, he never made contact with the player in the charge down landed in front and slid into him

That was a legit penalty, however as Annesley says here, the Raiders try where Brooks got pushed over should have been a penalty to the Tigers. He says the bunker got that wrong.

Possibly Guler should also have been binned for a professional foul.

f**k, this shit seems to happen a lot to us?

18-0 after 68 minutes with the Raiders barely getting out of 2nd gear to get to that , would suggest the Tigers are a long way off being as good

5 minutes of whacky is more a reflection of what the Raiders do from time to time
not the Tigers

If Brooks had of gone for the ball instead of stopping and shepherding the ball from the players behind him there wouldn’t have been a try

 

[Vibing]

Brookes had given up , knew he was no chance of getting to the ball
there was no penalty there & the Bunker was right

Annesley is a knob

 

[Vibing]

If Brooks had of gone for the ball instead of stopping and shepherding the ball from the players behind him there wouldn’t have been a try

this is correct
if he'd had half a go at getting there ..... its no try

Is that because you don’t agree with his answer?
